Fans of the Channel 4 series will be disappointed this week
24 Hours in Police Custody fans will be dealt a huge blow this week as Channel 4 has confirmed another change to its television schedule.
The landmark documentary follows lead detectives on the frontline as they investigate serious and intense crimes. From the moment a distressing phone call is first made, viewers witness the real life drama and urgency in the race against time as police officers fight for justice.
Since it first aired on television screens, 24 Hours in Police Custody has become a firm favourite amongst true crime fans who previously said the series is the “best ever”.
One person praised the show, penning: “Without doubt the best programme on TV”, as another added: “Without doubt the best Tv program being made anywhere, by anyone! #24hoursinpolicecustody watched all 100 episodes.”
Just this year, brand new episodes were released with fans eagerly awaiting more new instalments. However, this month, viewers realised repeat episodes had once again been put on the TV roster as they called for fresh episodes to be released.
But in another blow, those waiting for the usual 24 Hours in Police Custody slot this week week on Tuesday, February 24 will be disappointed to learn that no episode will be aired at all.
Instead, during its usual 9pm slot, a brand new series titled Dirty Business will air. Channel 4 teases: “The drama continues as David Thewlis stars in a real-life story of pollution and criminal convictions that exposes how water companies have polluted our natural resources for so long.”
It is not yet known when 24 Hours in Police Custody will return to TV screens and whether there will be new instalments or old repeats, but previous episodes can still be streamed online for those wanting to watch the show.
Just this week, plunging viewers into Bedfordshire Police’s largest operation into historic abuse, 24 Hours in Police Custody Horror House Part 2 aired on Channel 4 as detectives continued their investigation and fight for justice.
Channel 4 teased: “Will the victims of alleged historic child sex abuse finally get justice? Or will the suspect walk free, like he did before?”
Taking to X, many viewers were quick to share their thoughts on the chilling episode. One person wrote: “Only half way through #24hoursinpolicecustody & I’ve tears streaming down my face.” Another said: “I saw both parts of this investigation & was sickened beyond belief.”
